Learning more about me

no working out today, I want to rest my ankle a little more.  I'm happy I'm losing, but I also want it to heal. 

I'm visiting my parents today and Goal is to try and stay low carb while I'm there.  hanging out after, no real issue there. I have to drive so I don't drink.

So Yesterday was friday and I realized I do alot of emotional eating on friday. One, I think its the end of the week so i get to treat myself and the treat is usually food.  Instead I went to whole foods and finally discovered a place to by the peppers I've been looking for (habanero and Serrano).  Its a different form of retail therapy but its worked.  On my way home I hate coming home to an empty house and no plans so I think I do some comfort food eating.  I was hungry when I left work so I had to small bags of doritos (300cal total ) and when I got home to low fat puddings.  not great, but better than the fast food I would have eaten.

Also Tue and thur are my early days at work so I usually have egg white omelet with low sugar ketchup, wheat toast and an ice coffee with creamer. Alot of this is habit.  This week the goal is to give up the bread.  On the weekend I have gotten inthe habit of putting something on my veggie omlete and really i make it good enough it doesn't need anything. So no more smothering my food unless needed.

Quick Recap

Well I am ashamed it has been this long since I posted. I got down to 306 after much not eating and too much exercising, but after the trip to Jamaica I haven't gotten back in the groove of things. I think alot of that has to do with issues with the Ex. Those may not be settled, but i am not as emotionally invested as I won't was. With IE I was able to stay at 320 or under. I am 312 now, and focused once again. I am not nearly as strict as I was, which might also explain why I haven't gotten under 300. Anyway....Thats where I am at now. Will try and write more later.

Finding Joy in the Little Changes

So it's taken me 2 months to lose 4 lbs.  I know people are are gonna ready that and be like dude you suck. There are a couple of things to note: When  I started 2 months ago I was 359 and then the week after I went up to 363. I checked my spreadsheet and I haven't been 355 or lower in 4 years.  I've been struggling in the 360s for YEARS !!!!!! I've been in the 350s for a couple of weeks with a mostly steady decline I'm not struggling with eating, and working out is doable. In terms of non scale victories.  I can eat salad. It isn't the end of the world and honestly when I'm out and about it takes the weight of having to figure out what to eat. I don't feel the need to eat EVERYTHING on my plate. I don't eat what I don't want.  ( We will ignore the cream puff I had yesterday) I have more energy.  I don't come home and veg doing nothing until bed time.  I mean I do it sometimes, but if I need to do something I am more lik...

Up 3 lbs.

Well I just couldn't what to weigh myself and I am up 3 lbs. Normally I would be devastated, but Everything 3fc has taught says 1. I should probably weight myself in the morning. 2. It is not the end of the world. I also have to admit i overate yesterday, and I had a big meal Saturday . So the plans is to stick to what I am supposed to do and weigh again Saturday morning. The guy I am seeing will be up Saturday morning, and it is Super bowl weekend, so eating is not going to be the greatest this weekend. Everything else is ok. Added Later I just realized I got cocky. I assumed since I had had all this great weight loss I could eat whatever. I have not been eating intuitively. So I am glad I did the weighin and will try and do better.
